While Fleur Grey is primarily a black tea blend, its components offer several health benefits: - Black Tea: Rich in antioxidants, black tea is known to help reduce the risk of heart disease, improve brain function, and may have anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains caffeine, which can enhance alertness and energy. - Bergamot and Floral Notes: Bergamot, commonly used in Earl Grey, has been associated with stress relief and mood enhancement due to its citrusy aroma. Floral notes, such as rose or jasmine, can add a calming effect and may help in reducing anxiety.
Black Tea: Originating in China, black tea was introduced to Europe in the 17th century. It became popular in Britain, particularly with the establishment of the East India Company. Black tea is a staple in many cultures, especially in the UK, where it is often consumed with milk and sugar; Bergamot: Bergamot oil, derived from the rind of bergamot oranges, has been used for centuries in perfumery and culinary practices. In the context of tea, bergamot was first combined with black tea in the 19th century, allegedly by Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, hence the name Earl Grey. Bergamot adds a distinctive citrus flavor and aroma; Floral Notes: The use of floral elements like rose and jasmine in teas dates back to ancient China, where such teas were considered luxurious and were often served at special occasions. These floral teas were later adopted by European tea traditions, adding a delicate and aromatic flavor profile to various tea blends.
